]]>We can count on Taylor Swift to create quite a commotion with each new album she shares with the world, and she certainly delivered with The Tortured Poets Department. She’s given us 31 new songs across the standard edition and its companion piece The Anthology, and here are five that got everyone talking.
“So Long, London”
Taylor Swift’s “track five” songs always offered a window into her soul, and “So Long, London” truly pulled at our heartstrings, while sparking many speculations about the fallout of her relationship with Joe Alwyn.
“Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”
In addition to being one of the best songs on Swift’s new album, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” has given us the line “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me”, which quickly became a viral meme.
“But Daddy I Love Him”
“But Daddy I Love Him” is one of Tortured Poets’ biggest storytelling gems, so it’s certainly given Swifties a lot to digest – especially since it directly criticizes their obsession with the singer’s personal life.
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”
Tortured Poets has given us many vindictive lines, but “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” is certainly its best diss track, and fans are convinced it’s addressed to Matty Healy.
“thank you AIMee”
“thank you AIMee” is one of the buzziest songs from The Anthology, and it became a viral sensation because fans are convinced that the school bully figure from its title is a reference to Kim Kardashian.

]]>Beyoncé put her own spin on country with Cowboy Carter, giving us over 20 songs that push boundaries and transcend genres. They’re all unique in their own right, but these five certainly created the biggest splash and got everyone talking after Cowboy Carter hit the shelves.
“Texas Hold ‘Em”
“Texas Hold ‘Em” was released as the first single from Cowboy Carter long before the album itself came out. It gave us a taste of Beyoncé’s new sound and set several major records on the country charts.
“II Most Wanted” ft. Miley Cyrus
Cowboy Carter has given us several A-list collaborations that we can’t enough of, but “II Most Wanted” ft. Miley Cyrus is the best of both worlds and it’s its strongest candidate to hit No. 1.
“Protector”
Speaking of amazing collaborations, “Protector” is one of the most personal songs that Cowboy Carter has in store because it features none other than the singer’s own daughter Rumi Carter.
“Jolene”
Countless artists have covered “Jolene” over the years, but Beyoncé’s take will change the way you look at Dolly Parton’s timeless classic and the story that inspired it.
“Bodyguard”
Cowboy Carter has given us many amazing duets, but it’s also proof that Beyoncé can shine as brightly on her own, while experimenting with different genres, and “Bodyguard” is a case in point.

Super Bowl wouldn’t be the same without an amazing halftime show, and Usher pulled all the stops with the medley of his biggest hits alongside several special guests.
Movie Trailers

]]>In a surprising twist of cultural trends, jazz music is experiencing a renaissance among the youngest generation of music lovers. Gen Z, known for their eclectic and diverse musical tastes, is increasingly tuning into the complex and soulful sounds of jazz. Could this be a new era for a genre that many feared was relegated to the past?
This renewed interest in jazz is not an isolated phenomenon. It’s reflective of Gen Z’s broader embrace of vintage and retro aesthetics, extending from fashion to vinyl records. However, their approach to jazz is not just about nostalgia. It’s a genuine appreciation for the art form and its rich history. This generation is exploring the depths of jazz, from classic big band swing to bebop, fusion, and contemporary variations.
One key reason jazz is trending is the desire for authenticity and a deeper connection with music. Jazz, with its emphasis on improvisation, complex rhythms, and emotional depth, offers a stark contrast to the highly produced and formulaic music that often dominates mainstream channels. Gen Z’s attraction to jazz is partly a quest for something more organic and expressive in their musical landscape.
So is it time to give the soulful melodies another listen? Gen Z says, yes!
@eloweeeezy_ The evolution of ‘Drunk On A Flight’ It’s been out for 2 weeks and you’ve all given it the warmest welcome! #newmusic #jazztok #altmusic ♬ Drunk On A Flight – Eloise
